Cleaning (Microfiber Cloths)

Sandy has a bit of OCD, and acts on it. I on the other hand, clean and organize in my head.  But today, I’m going to clean (for real)!

Our mother used old t-shirts and other clothing that had seen better days, as cleaning rags.  And that’s what I have used, as well.  Today I was excited to try my new microfiber cloths I bought at the Dollar Tree.  They’re amazing!  I used the smooth one for my mirrors and glass (streak-free with no window cleaner or water needed), the one with the “scrubby” on the bathroom (they rub out “spots” without scratching and the absorbency is amazing) and another for dusting (no dusting spray required).  It was faster, I think, than using sprays and cleaners.  Good! I like fast when it comes to doing something I find unpleasant.

Introductions

Imagine meeting someone who understood even the dustiest corners of your mixed-up soul.

There were 3 children in our family, Irene (the oldest, my best friend and collaborator on this blog), Sandy (the rebel – that would be me) and a baby brother (well, the baby and only boy). All 3 of us are currently married (to our original spouses), and each of us have two children. Irene has 2 boys, I have a boy (and grandson) and a girl, and our brother has 2 boys (and a grandson). Our parents were European immigrants. We were born and raised in Michigan. Irene moved with her husband to Kentucky when the boys were just starting school. I moved to Kentucky after retiring.

We are in our late 50s. We have worked, raised children, paid off mortgages and survived difficulties.

The past 5 decades have been good. We want the next 5 to be even better!

Whenever one of us experienced something unfamiliar, difficult…. even scary … we had each other (and friends) to turn to. Oftentimes, we had to look for help outside of friends and family. There are no easy answers out there when: dealing with a parent that can no longer live alone, needing to have an uncomfortable talk with your child, or experiencing physical changes that scare the beejeebies out of you!

We will share our experiences, and sometimes, just do the internet-leg-work for you!
